NEW VINCENT PRICE ACTION FIGURE ANNOUNCED!

Announced at this year's recent Toy Fair in NYC is NECA Toys' new Vincent Price action figure. No release date is set but a prototype was on display. The figure is fully-licensed by the estate of Vincent Price.

THE ULTIMATE MUMMY?

There are better Mummy figures out there, but at this price point ($37.99) NECA's Ultimate Mummy action figure ain't bad.

NEW CREATURE FIGURE AND MODEL KIT

I am a huge CFTBL fan and have loved it since I first saw it as a young Monster Kid. I even remember watching an edited version that was played in my high school auditorium during lunchtime! At a Burbank Monsterpalooza some years ago, I was fortunate enough to have met and had a nice chat with Julie "Kay Lawrence" Adams and she was as sweet as could be.

While I haven't laid out the cash for every Creature collectible that's come around, I may just drop for this one. It looks like a fine sculpt and paint job, even with the fancy lighting effects and photo backgrounds.

From NECA:

Universal Monsters 

7” Scale Action Figure – Ultimate Creature from the Black Lagoon (Color)

Overview

The debut of Universal’s 1954 film The Creature from the Black Lagoon took audiences deep into the Amazon! This 7” scale Ultimate action figure depicts the mysterious and terrifying Creature in extraordinary detail. It comes with three extra pairs of hands, and three interchangeable head sculpts. Display-friendly window box packaging with opening front flap.

Retail price: $34.99

Also bubbling up under the prow of the Rita is this upcoming Revenge of the Creature plastic model kit from X-Plus. The 1:8 scale kit sculpted by Adam Dougherty will be retailing for $69.99.

TWO NEW ELVIRA ACTION FIGURES

Just announced by NECA Toys are two brand-new Elvira action figures. One is her as a cartoon character (Toony Terror) and the other they specifically specify a "clothed" version. They're both coming in September.

Elvira 6” Scale Action Figure – Toony Terrors Elvira on Couch Boxed Set

Bring the fun of Saturday morning cartoons to your horror collection with the adorable little creeps of Toony Terrors, NECA’s line of stylized horror icons! The extraordinary and iconic Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, reclines on her signature velvet couch and comes with her pet dog, Gonk. Comes in window box packaging. I think Elvira might be related to the Energizer Bunny . . .

Elvira 8” Clothed Action Figure – “Red, Fright, and Boo”

The devilishly delightful Cassandra Peterson has played the part of Elvira for more than 40 years with grace, humor and more than a little camp. NECA is proud to present this positively patriotic figure of the Mistress of the Dark in a sparkling red dress for your horror collection. The 8” Elvira action figure is fully articulated and features tailored fabric clothing, plus plenty of accessories… alternate winking head, skull and snake candle holder, chalice, and figure stand.

MONSTER BOBBLEHEADS RE-ISSUED BY NECA

I'm not normally a collector of bobble-heads, but I couldn't pass up buying a few of the NECA Universal monsters when they came out in 2006. Now the toy and collectibles manufacturer has announced that they will be re-issuing them in 2023, 17 years later. They will be available from the usual outlets due in September with a retail price of $34.99 each.
